The SS Braided High Pressure Teflon Flexible Tail Pipe with Spring for Oxygen NRV Type (1 Mtr) is a medical gas pipeline accessory designed for secure oxygen transfer between oxygen cylinders, manifolds, and medical gas delivery systems in hospitals and clinical facilities. Commonly used by biomedical engineers, anaesthesia teams, and central gas pipeline technicians, this oxygen tail pipe is suitable for high-pressure oxygen applications in ICU, OT, emergency, and manifold installations. The PTFE inner lining and stainless steel braided exterior support controlled gas flow while reducing the risk of kinking during routine handling. Its NRV-compatible configuration is intended for integration with medical gas pipeline systems (MGPS) requiring stable oxygen connectivity under regulated pressure conditions.
CLINICAL USE CONTEXT
This flexible oxygen tail pipe is used in medical gas infrastructure where uninterrupted oxygen delivery is essential for patient care and procedural safety. In hospital manifold rooms and central oxygen supply systems, biomedical maintenance personnel use NRV-compatible tail pipes to connect cylinders to oxygen headers and pressure regulation units. Within operating theatres and intensive care units, dependable oxygen transfer systems support anaesthesia workstations, ventilators, and emergency respiratory equipment. The anti-kink spring reinforcement assists in maintaining lumen patency during repeated movement or cylinder replacement procedures. Respiratory therapists and facility engineering teams commonly inspect such pipeline accessories during routine MGPS maintenance and compliance checks.
FAQ SECTION
1. What is the purpose of an oxygen NRV tail pipe in a medical gas system?
An oxygen NRV tail pipe is used to connect oxygen cylinders or manifold systems to medical gas pipeline infrastructure while helping maintain controlled one-way gas flow. The NRV (Non-Return Valve) configuration assists in preventing reverse gas movement during cylinder changeover or pressure fluctuations.
2. Is this tail pipe compatible with hospital MGPS installations?
Yes, this tail pipe is intended for use in medical gas pipeline systems commonly installed in hospitals, ICUs, operation theatres, and emergency departments. Compatibility should still be verified with the existing manifold and connector specifications before installation.
3. Why is PTFE (Teflon) used inside the oxygen tail pipe?
PTFE is commonly used in medical gas transfer applications because it offers chemical stability and supports oxygen compatibility under regulated pressure conditions. The inner PTFE lining also assists in maintaining smooth gas flow and reducing internal contamination risks.
4. What is the function of the external spring support?
The spring reinforcement helps reduce excessive bending and kinking during handling, cylinder replacement, or manifold movement. This mechanical protection can support consistent gas flow and prolong functional durability in routine clinical environments.
5. Can this oxygen tail pipe be sterilised or reused?
This product is designed as a reusable MGPS accessory used within controlled medical infrastructure systems rather than direct patient-contact equipment. Cleaning, inspection, and decontamination procedures should follow institutional biomedical engineering and hospital maintenance protocols.
SAFETY DISCLAIMER
This product is intended for use by trained medical gas pipeline technicians, biomedical engineers, and authorised healthcare professionals only. Users should verify connector compatibility, pressure suitability, and oxygen service compliance before clinical installation or operation. Follow institutional inspection, maintenance, and decontamination protocols for all reusable medical gas accessories.
